Question Posted Tuesday September 25 2007, 6:42 pm
I'm in 8th grade.. and the school that I'm at now I've been at all my life.. and there are a couple other kids like that in my class.. but for me its going to be so hard to graduate.. or like be able to deal with it. And right now i have enough problems and i don't want to leave my school, and i don't want to go to high school cause I'm scared to go, I'm scared of losing my friends, and at the end of the year I'm going to be depressed, and thats no joke. So what should i do???
Then grad came around the corner. Boy did we cry. Alot. More than alot. It felt like I was losing a part of myself, and I dreaded highschool like the plague.
But I'm in my grade 10 year, and I'm still alive (glad to say). I can't promise you that everything will come easy to you, or that you'll be in the same classes as your friends, but I can promise you that highschool may become more meaningful to you than your Junior High was.
So my advice to you specifically is to listen to lots of music. It helps keep your emotions and your depression in check (HAPPY MUSIC - like Grace Kelly - hahahahaha). And then next year, my advice is to keep an open mind. Talk to your friends often, but be ready for change. You won't get by in life without it.
Good luck! [ JaneWebster's advice column | Ask JaneWebster A Question ]
